What do YOU mean by assembling?
Do you mean denominational assembling, christian ACE school assembling, potluck assembling, footwashing assembling, communion assembling, after church fellowship or going to the same building to hear the same preacher?

God's body is very big....much bigger than the UPCI although they are a part of it.

What about if they're moderate or liberal churches? Is that person lost too if they leave those Apostolic churches?

[Sister Alvear]

Not all Apostolic churches are the some...The word Apostolic saves NO ONE....

I think Jesus was neither liberal or conservative. Jesus was a radical. The liberals (Sadducees) and conservatives (Pharisees) both hated Jesus.

How much of going to church or having a church service/Bible Study actually makes you a christian? How much of a lack of it makes you backslid?

My wife's family is replete with examples of this (the ultra-UC who refuses any fellowship). Ditching a meeting or even church entirely is the time-honored way of saying, "I'm better than you!"
